We can only take so much merriment in these cold, cynical days — and an overload of holiday cheer can quickly spill over into awkward territory.

No family is guiltier of this than The Holdernesses, who posted a Christmas Card rap video relentlessly bragging about their year while showing off their Christmas Jammies, plaguing all who watched it with severe secondhand embarrassment!

If a white family rapping to Will Smith isn't cringey enough for you, try sitting through a Donald Trump-inspired rendition of a holiday classic (which also bashes Hillary Clinton, of course), or that time Mariah Carey forgot to warm up her vocals before belting out All I Want For Christmas Is You!!

Last Friday, Felix Kjellberg — better known as his YouTube name PewDiePie — shared a video to his 49.7 MILLION subscribers explaining that he plans to delete his account once he reaches an even 50 million.

While this news came as a bombshell to the video game commentator's diehard fanbase, other viewers focused on a different part of the video altogether.

Specifically, the part in which the Swedish vlogger went off on YouTube for discriminating against him by suggesting his viewers watch videos that were not made by him — and sometimes even recommending videos posted by… *GASP* women of color!!!!

Kjellberg — who topped the list of highest paid YouTubers in 2016 with $15 million — claimed the site has become more aggressive in sourcing "clickbait" outside of a person's traditional viewing habits.

The gamer noted his frustration over YouTube's refusal to explain their algorithm of new video suggests, which apparently connects his (comedy?) channel with, for example, that of fashion and style vlogger Zoe Sugg, quipping:

The reason for the search was a medical cream Denise packed in her carry-on that the host carries as part of her cancer treatment! The shaken woman was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in 2015 and began chemo in February that year after having a lumpectomy.

Another year, another endless current of commentary and communication from the 300-plus million users on Twitter.

Between the Rio Olympics, the presidential election, and Game Of Thrones, there was much to discuss in the digital zeitgeist — but which of the many topics trended the most?

Twitter just released the top trending topics and most popular tweets for 2016, giving an overview of the most talked about moments and movements over the past 12 months.

Aside from registering as the top TV show of the year, #GameofThrones came in at No. 10 on the top-trending topics worldwide. Star Wars earned the No. 1 spot in the top movies category, benefiting from the late 2015 release of The Force Awakens and this month's release, Rogue One.

While President-elect Donald Trump managed to become the No. 8 worldwide trending topic, it was Hillary Clinton who had one of the most retweeted posts of the year!

Clinton's post-election defeat tweet was the third most retweeted in 2016, following Harry Styles's birthday tweet quoting Taylor Swift's 22 coming in at No. 2.

The No. 1 retweeted post was from Spanish YouTube star and gamer Rubén Doblas Gundersen, whose "limonada" tweet was retweeted 1.38 million times after he promised prizes to fans who shared it. Hey, all's fair in love and social media!

Ch-ch-check out the top retweeted tweets and ALL the top trending topics of 2016 (below)!!

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are probably best known for causing all kinds of drama for Lauren Conrad on MTV's The Hills. While the twosome have slowly drifted from the spotlight over the years, it only seems right the paparazzi-loving couple attempt their big return to fame just after the 10 year anniversary of their reality show's premiere!

The Pratts spent most of 2016 trying to take over social media and, thanks to a collaboration with Cosmopolitan, have made an internet show all about this quest. After some sound advice from your FAVE celebrity blogger (us, we're talking about us), the duo sought advice from social media star Lauren Giraldo! Smart move!

So if you've always wanted a Speidi-focused reality show, be sure to ch-ch-check out their journey towards internet fame for yourself (below). You won't regret it!

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
